It reminds me of a neurologist I consulted at the start of my ME. He knew that I had chronic generalized pain, among other symptoms. Well, he urged me, not without boldness, to have a more active sex life :jawdrop: (without knowing anything about my privacy !), because that would lessen my pain...

(With all due respect to those who suffer from it) Even though I have chronic general pain, I am neither anxious nor depressed, I have never abused opioids, I do not tend to overdo my pain levels and I am able to express my emotions well. The main observation that I can make is that these people...

Fairly rare, although the authors claim a likely underestimation. The authors write: '' When they finally suspect FDIS, evidence of the deception is required to make a definitive diagnosis, but it is not easy to demonstrate. Warning signs are helpful but cannot suffice to reach a diagnosis, as...

I don't teach anyone anything when I say that but, when a person is in depression, most of the time, he (or she) first and foremost needs to be listened to and heard in what they personally experience in their life. It has nothing to do with a recipe learned in advance and made for everyone. And...

In this video, Johann's testimony is revealing of EM, but in the end the comment from the GP is horrible. This doctor brings everything back to the simple fatigue experienced in modern society.

Sorry to make a little diversion from the subject but, speaking of the BPS belief ... Last week I had a conversation with the syndic of the Order of Psychologists in my Province (CA). I wanted to know the exact limit on the field of competence of their members. I asked him 2 specific questions...

In short, ACT for ME is supposedly helping the person to accept what they are feeling but deny PEM. How twisted and shows a lack of knowledge of ME! Dangerous, dangerous again. Exactly. Psychotherapy carries a clear risk of harm to the person, and unfortunately in the UK you know that all too...

Voilà !

Signed !:) and I'm from Canada.

Momentarily, this Brian Hughes blog post made me forget all the suffering of the ME community and the adversity it faced, managing to get some laughter out of me. It exposes human stupidity in all its splendor! Where is the seriousness of these Colleges of doctors normally required by the...

I find this discussion very interesting : the concept of dysregulation and its possible or devious implications, "plug in " pwme to device over a long period to accumulate as much data as possible, the importance of a wise choice for the research team, the need to take into account the pwme...

Oh Arnie Pye ... I'm speechless. What courage and strength it must have taken from you to stay upright! I'm so sorry for you. I can only wish you the chance to meet on your way a benevolent doctor, who knows how to look at the person first. I really wonder if there are pwme who have not gone...

Signed ! :)

Good God ! It is exactly the gibberish defended by the Royal Colleges ... and he integrates the Me Association ? Dangerous. It really seems to me that someone should pass this on to CS.

Simply awful. Am I paranoid or does it seems like a disguised attempt to infiltrate an ME organization, in order to confuse, divide and weaken the ME community ...? Either way, the fact that Findley signed a letter endorsing Nice's new guidelines does not excuse his arrogance, unprofessional...

Signed !

The profound lack of human respect ... oh yes! They don't want to hear our real experience because it just doesn't match their view, intimately tied to their career plan. They are blinded by biases and prejudices, they do not want to see, they do not seek the facts, the reality, the truth...

17 000 now ! :rolleyes:

I have ME between moderate and severe (for 12 years) and I am clearly the type who does not catch a cold. Dose 1 (Pfizer): Muscle pain in the arm and at the injection site, 24 hours. Dose 2 (Pfizer): intense arm pain, swelling and pain at the injection site, my chronic general pain increased...

Dear Trish :heart::broken_heart:
